Scalp micropigmentation is a procedure done by trained professionals to create a natural fuller hair illusion. It is usually done through the use of a tattoo machine, an electric one. This hair treatment is especially beneficial to those with different forms of hair loss such as thinning hair, female and male pattern baldness, cancer, and alopecia.
As you anticipate your first SMP session, it is normal to feel anxious or excitedly nervous about it. An effective way to combat this feeling is being properly informed about the procedure and knowing what to expect.
What To Expect For Your First SMP Session
Here are some of the things that you will be experiencing during your first SMP session:
1. The Consultation Step
The first task of your SMP specialist will be to introduce the procedure to you and understand what you want. You will be given a quotation and a personal micro pigmentation plan. You would be asked about your preferred hairline style, and what exact look you want.
There will be a brief review and recap of the looks you are expecting to have before the specialist will begin to prepare. Don’t hesitate to ask any other questions you may have at this stage.
2. The Trial Style
The second step will be mostly carried out by our specialists. We will design your described hairline with a temporary wax pencil and together we will work to work with you to hone the style until it is just perfect for you. If you are satisfied with the result of this trial then we will start getting things ready for the actual treatment.
3. The Preparation Step
Before we start using the tattoo needle on your scalp we will confirm all requirements necessary for density and pigment. The target area of your scalp will also be examined for any scars or blemishes.
4. The Treatment Step
Once we have prepared all materials needed and the machine we will get started. Usually, this first SMP session will take about three hours. Don’t worry, you will be well relaxed as we apply the pigmentation. We allow our customers to take breaks as the treatment goes on and you can also eat light foods.
Have in mind that you might feel a little discomfort during this step but the numbing topical agent applied to your head will help in easing this discomfort.
5. The After Step
When we are done with this session, you will be given specific instructions to abide by until the due date for the second SMP session. Some of these instructions will include, avoiding direct sunlight on your scalp, not itching it and also avoiding too much sweating.
The normal wait duration before the second SMP session is ten to fourteen days. The following sessions are important to ensure that there is retainment of the pigment in your scalp. This gives a long-term result hence why you mustn’t skip them.
The number of succeeding steps is determined by the extent of the scalp that requires treatment. The smaller the area, the lesser sessions will be needed.
Don’t Hesitate to Take This Bold Step
